I'm working on a CodedUI project to check on a Web Solution.

There, when I'm testing for launching the site (as in launching the web URL), I am facing an issue with closing the browser as it finish testing, where it wont allow to use the same browser instance for further testing, Unless if I keep open a instance of a browser (IE) prior manually before running the test.

Can anyone please assist me with this, where I was unable to find a suitable solution. I even went through articles in MSDN where I posted regarding this issue as a comment which I'm facing, since I tried various ways of Code Snippets so far.

My written code is provided below.

---
-- common.cs  
[TestMethod]
    public void LoadLocalHost()
    {
      this.UIMap.LoadLocalHost();
    } 
---
-- UIMap.Designer.cs
public void LoadLocalHost()
    { 
      this.UIMsnInternetExplorerWindow.LaunchUrl(new System.Uri("http://localhost:5500/"));
      Console.WriteLine(UIMsnInternetExplorerWindow.CloseOnPlaybackCleanup);
      UIMsnInternetExplorerWindow.CloseOnPlaybackCleanup = false;
    }

Highly appreciate an assistance from some one who can.

Preferable you want each test to run in isolation. You don't want any artifacts of a previous test laying around. So closing the browser after each test sounds as a good thing.

A test follows three steps

  • Setup: Launch browser, setup database, etc
  • Test: Run single testcase
  • Teardown: Cleanup

I think you can use TestInitialize and TestCleanup methods, see the Anatomy of a Unit Test.

  • If I start an application with Process.Start then it stays alive during the second test. Maybe that helps. The code: app = Process.Start(_basePath & "Application.exe") msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/… Jan 27, 2015 at 10:19
